Senior Simulation Engineer - Machine Learning

AI summary of the role

Senior Simulation Engineer role on the Simulation Core team at Woven by Toyota's AD/ADAS organization, leading adoption and integration of ML technologies (including world foundation models) into large-scale simulation workflows for autonomous driving.

What you’ll do

  • Lead adoption and integration of ML techniques in simulation subsystems (scenario creation, reactive agents, sensor/vehicle/intersection/world modeling).
  • Architect and extend next-generation core simulation technologies (agent frameworks, scenario engine, sensor simulation).
  • Partner with ADAS teams to improve development and evaluation of ADAS software.
  • Set team roadmap to support growing ADAS customers and use cases.

What you’ll bring

  • 5+ years of relevant work experience.
  • Experience with ML frameworks (PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow; PyTorch preferred).
  • Experience in ML workflows: data sampling/curation, pre-processing, training, ablation studies, evaluation, deployment, inference optimization.
  • Strong programming skills in Python, Rust, or C++.
